Vanessa talks about her new songs:

"Moro Longe" has a touch of the North. The person portrayed is very practical, very objective... Kind of... “look, it’s cool, I’ll come to your place but I don’t want anything small, I want you to show me a great time!!” She negotiates in practical and self-assured terms, that’s part of her charm. There’s no romance. It’s just wonderful deal making, “If I come there, you’ve got to make it worthwhile”. She’s very percussive. We tried several arrangements and this one was the best, for sure. read more
